Exercise and metabolizing Juvederm?

Juvederm
Mar 5, 2018

So good question. The reality is that your exercise routine shouldn’t affect your filler outcome. If you have bruising/swelling the first few weeks then minimizing extreme physical exertion is good idea but after that, no worries. Some studies suggest that if Botox is given in areas around where filler is given (if appropriate and safe) that it may slow slightly the breakdown of filler.

I understand your frustration – we all want results immediately as we get so excited to finally get filler. Even though Volbella is a great filler for this area as it is very soft and doesn’t swell as much as other fillers, there is still some swelling that occur in the first few weeks.

uneven eyebrows

Most people will develop more obvious asymmetry of their face as they age, often due to genetics, side of face they sleep on, or uneven sun exposure (such as through driving window in car).

It would take a good in-person consultation to determine the best course. Wish you luck!

Was my lip filler injected wrong? I’m not sure why my top lip looks the way it does from the side. (

It does look like some filler was injected superficially or closer to the inner lip than appropriate. Over extended time it should decrease but if unhappy with it, would return as there is medication that can be injected to dissolve and decrease the fullness.
